Foam Cushioning

Cushioning is an integral part of many packaging assemblies. General Packaging specializes in providing our customers with innovative, cost-effective packaging design solutions utilizing a wide variety of materials including polyethylene and polyurethane foam.

GPC engineers utilize the latest CAD technologies to determine the optimum combination of foam material type, density, thickness and shape required to best protect our customers’ products against shock and vibration.

In addition, we utilize our in-house ISTA-certified package testing lab to validate our designs.

Polyethylene

Polyethylene foam cushioning provides exceptional, repeatable shock prevention at a low cost. This recyclable material can be die cut into countless shape combinations, and is available in a variety of densities.

World-class engineered cushioning from GPC provides the ultimate in packaging protection.

Custom foam assemblies are often paired with our corrugated boxes, for a complete packaging solution. Polyethylene closed-cell foam is die cut on high-volume presses, and then heat bonded or glued in an endless number of combinations.

As a direct manufacturer and a high-volume buyer of materials, you can always expect us to offer you the lowest prices.

We offer die-cut trays and custom internal cushioning that is perfect for hard cases, or as the insert for a corrugated box.

Product-centric, stamped foam is commonly and effectively utilized for medical devices, automotive components, and any number of products where packaging design and fit matter.

Most densities of polyethylene foam are also available in pink anti-static composition for the proper protection of static-sensitive parts.

Anti-static foam’s properties dissipate electro-static charges and is excellent for cushioning electronic equipment and components. Anti-static can be cut and molded into any conceivable design.

Polyurethane

Flexible polyurethane foam is a cushioning product used in thousands of industrial, medical, technical and packaging applications. It is light, durable, comfortable and supportive.

GPC’s innovative polyurethane solutions offer unmatched versatility and quality across a wide range of industries. Our advanced polyurethane foam provides superior cushioning, durability, and support. Trust GPC to enhance your products with cutting-edge technology and exceptional performance.

Flexible polyurethane foam is light-weight, inexpensive and commonly used as cushioning for a variety of consumer and commercial products. We specialize in fabricating custom foam assemblies for commercial and industrial uses.

Polyurethane makes for effective internal packaging due to its ability to absorb repeated shocks while retaining its cushioning properties.

We offer trays, inserts and custom internal cushioning that is perfect for hard cases, or as the insert for a corrugated box.

Pink anti-static polyurethane is available in various densities for the proper protection of static-sensitive parts.

Anti-static foam’s properties dissipate electro-static charges and is excellent for cushioning electronic equipment and components. Anti-static can be cut and combined into any conceivable design.

Foam-In-Place

Foam-in-place is a trusted packaging technology that offers a high degree of protection. It is resilient, lightweight and versatile. Our skilled technical engineering staff stands ready to assist you with any design and development needs to help you create a cost-effective solution for your molded foam requirements, including prototyping new molded cushions and rigorous performance testing. General Packaging offers a wide selection of pre-molded, Sealed Air™ foam-in-place cushioning that complements our polyethylene foam fabrication products. We can easily combine foam packaging with our wood and corrugated materials to create the perfect, integrated packaging solution.

Choose from a wide assortment of foam-in-place materials:

Medium density, used for a wide array of mid-range applications.

The highest density option of the chemical blend formations. Ideal for a wide variety of products with a multitude of shapes and sizes as well as heavier weights.

Ultra-low density, semi-rigid. Used primarily for light cushioning applications.

Resilient, high-performance material with a broad loading range.

Specialty Cushioning

Whether it’s conductive foam or any unique cushioning product…it is likely we either actively sell it or can source it. To us, specialty cushioning also includes combining disparate materials to create custom packaging. Specialty cushioning, like all GPC products, will be tailored to meet your product’s individual protection requirements.

In the world of custom specialty packaging, we are only limited by our imagination.
